“Using “Spacers” for Safer Delivery of High Dose Radiation Therapy”
High dose radiation therapy is effective in the treatment of liver tumors. However, the greatest limitation in the use of radiation is not the liver itself, but rather adjacent organs like the stomach or intestines, which do not tolerate high doses of radiation therapy.
The use of laparoscopically-placed spacers can safely provide critical distance between a liver tumor and these sensitive organs and allow for therapeutic treatment of liver tumors, expanding the number of patients who can be offered potentially curative high dose radiation therapy.
